1957 Ford Custom 300 Drag Car

This cool `57 belongs to a good friend of mine, Joe Gerardi of Sebastian, FL.  He is quitting regular drag racing, and is looking to sell his hotrod.  The body has been thoroughly gone over and repainted white with custom vinyl lettering.  This lettering can be removed with a heat gun if desired.  The car is powered by a stout 390 with Edelbrock intake and Holley carb.  It has Hedman Husler headers, and Mickey Thompson valve covers.  The chrome covers in the first engine photo are not on it any more.  Transmission is a built C6 with a 2800 stall convertor.  The car has 4.11 gear, a spool, Weld DragLites, and wears new rubber all around.  The car has super-nostalgic blue tint windows like the gassers from the `60's.  The `57 has an Autometer tach, Crites glass hood, and an extra set of fiberglass fenders (ready to install on the car).  Also included are an extra 390 and other assorted parts.  The car shows well and has won many awards and trophies, including winner of the `57 Ford Shootout, and runner up in the `57 Shootout the following year.  Joe and the `57 won the super tough Nostalgia class at the Ford Expo in 2005.  The car runs in the low to mid 12 second range in the 1/4 mile.  It has run faster, but not wanting to install a rollbar is the only thing that keeps it from doing it on a regular basis.  The car is tagged and is street driven to local shows and cruises.

To contact Joe for more information, see the bottom of this page. 

Joe is willing to part with this piece of American metal as well as other assorted parts that accompany it.  He has put a lot of time and effort into this car.  I have seen it and been around it a good bit, and I can honestly say that it is a nice ride, a quick ride, and Joe and company have definitely had a lot of fun with it.    Asking price is $18500 or make an offer.  Contact Joe at the links below.
